This range must be tailored to respond unique PK/PD of the pa�ent. Such personalized scheme needs frequent sampling. Finger-prick blood measurement can improve the pa�ent´s safety, comfort and compliance.This is of par�cular importance for specific pa�ent groups like pediatric, neonatal and elderly pa�ents, for whom blood collec�on via venipuncture is difficult. Finger-prick tes�ng can provide easy and rapid sample processing compared to the tradi�onal methods, hence has the poten�al to play a key role during PK/PD studies. Methodology
